New Light on Profit
Some industrial leaders now refer to that oldTjoker item,
profit," m a new way. Annual reports of corporations are
beginning- to list profit more properly as that part of the
sales dollar spent for "use of tools." This is an understandable way to designate whatever, money is paid to stockholders or kept in the business for reinvestment or expansion.
tffl -American workers have good tools they turn out good
pwrtlucts at reasonable prices. Without good tools the picture
would be diiferent. A hundred years ago each workman had
only $550 invested for his use in the form of tools. Today
more than 11 times this amount, or about $6,000 worth of
tools, is back of the average American workman in his productive efforts. In terms of purchasing* power, our average
workman's wages have increased aboutfive fold, even though
he works only half as many hours as he did1 then,.
Tools, then, are important to all of us. Where do they come
from? The price of these better tools (sometimes they're expensive tools) has come from people able to save from their
incomes a little surplus to invest. Most of these folks today
are in the income bracket of $5,000 or over. But through life
suranee 'and bank savings, nearly everybody in America
participates in these purchases of tools.
Obviously, we have a high standard of living- partly because of the labor-aiding- tools we have accumulated. That is
fine. But-we must not forget that it is possible for America
to have such national policies, that tool investments are not
forthcoming. In fact,- during 1930 to 1940 when our account
in tools (capital) slipped downward 19.4 per cent we found
that our economy wesj$ backward rather than forward.
Looking at the record^ -\ye see that most of our tools were
accumulated in the generation prior to 1929. .From 1920 to

less than that. We must not forget the importance of tools.

Cancer Drive
Needs Help to
Reach Quota
Stark County is the only county
in Ohio to fall down on the current fund raising drive of the American Cancer Society. Local drive
oftcials believe the goal can be
reached if the need is presented to
the people of Stark County.
The demand for cancer control
funds far exceeds the amounts on
hand and being raised.
For every dollaar contributed to
the society, twenty-five cents goes
to research. The $3,000,000 which the
society will spend on research during the 1948-49 fiscal year is the
greatest outlay of its kind in the
organization's 35 years of existence.
Sixty cents remains within the
state to be used for cancer detec-
sion center, clinics and services to
patients such as transportation, sick
room supplies, medical equipment
for tumor clinics at Mercy and Aultman Hospitals is included in the
local outlay.
Fifteen cents goes to finance a
national program of education and
administration of the society.
During 1947, the society inaugurated many new projects including
monthly bibliography and a package
lending library on cancer diagnosis,
speaker bureaus in many states, a library of slides on cancer diagnosis
for speakers and teachers, a library
of technical films, a nurses teaching program and a large number of
articles and radio scripts for public
education, the report stated.
Miss Addis K. Barthelmeh is vice
president of the Stark County Chapter of the American Cancer Society,
which met recently to discuss current expansion of the tumor clinic
program in Massillon and Alliance,
and the possible hiring of another
nurse to aid in the chapter's expanded program.
If you haven't been contacted to
give to the cancer fund, send your
contribution in to the North Canton
Junior Chamber of Commerce who
are heading the drive here in this
locality.
Draft Training Bill Approved
"I Am an American" Day
"I Am an American" Day, observed this year on May 16,
has been widely celebrated as an expression of patriotism.
It is an occasion when people can well reflect on the great
privilege's which they enjoy as Americans, They have the
freedom which is a precious and priceless heritage, handed
d<An from the-founders of the country. They are at liberty
toThoose their own way of life, and to think and speak theii
own thoughts. They have freedom of religion, "and can worship in whatever way seems best to them.
There are vast populations in this world where such freedom does not exist. In some lands people are fearful of expressing their ideas, and they talk in whispers, and are apprehensive lest someone should report what they say, and ii
should be deemed that they are disloyal to the government.
It is a wonderful thing that in our country people can say
What they think, and that we have freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and a free radio.
It is a wonderful thing that ^people are free to express
their own convictions when they vote at elections. . Th<
majority rules, and-the.people can vote freely for whatevei
type of government they want, and they know that their
ballots will be honestly counted.
Many observances are held on "I Am an American" Day,
in honor of young people who have just attained the voting
age, and of newly naturalized citizens. New voters participate in these exercises with enthusiasm. They value, the
privilege of" voting for the first time, and are glad to feel
that they have their share with the rest of the people in
shaping government policies.
The great traditions of the past of our country have been
handed down to us from the founders. It is up to the present
lUteration to maintain these traditions and to keep the country moving along the march of progress. The American
people gave a wonderful example of their patriotism, by
the devotion they manifested in the two World Wars.

Useful Visions
If idle, dreaming is called a waste of time, it can be said
that achievement is the result of thinking that at the start
might be called a dream or vision. People who have accomplished remarkable things had for a long time a vision'of
this result which they longed to accomplish. -They pondered
. deeply about it.. They, considered how it might be achieved,
X and-worked to accomplish that aim. So their visisn grew, arid
^became a reality and conferred a benefit on the world.

Stanley Macomber
Received Patent
Grant in April
On April 20, 1948, the United
States Patent Office granted patent
number 2,440,053 on a "Floor Tile"
and Joist Construction" to Stanley
Macomber, North Caanton, Ohio.
This invention pertains to a rigid,
fireproof steel floor construction that
is simpler and easier to build than
the usual metal lath and concrete
floors, and which may installed by
inexperienced workmen without regard to their ability to proportion
and mix ingredients.
As is commonly known, joists are
horizontal beams of timber or steel
that are used as supports for floors
and ceilings. The chief feature of Mr.
comber's invention resides in the
shape of his joist; and, in general, it
is made of a strip or sheet steel and
comprises an upper section in the
form of a V shaped trough, and a
lower portion formed into an inverted V with the ends of its apex
slightly spread apart to thereby result in a central groove or opening
extending along the length of the
trough.
In constructing Mr. Macomber's

New Light on Profit
Some industrial leaders now refer to that oldTjoker item,
profit," m a new way. Annual reports of corporations are
beginning- to list profit more properly as that part of the
sales dollar spent for "use of tools." This is an understandable way to designate whatever, money is paid to stockholders or kept in the business for reinvestment or expansion.
tffl -American workers have good tools they turn out good
pwrtlucts at reasonable prices. Without good tools the picture
would be diiferent. A hundred years ago each workman had
only $550 invested for his use in the form of tools. Today
more than 11 times this amount, or about $6,000 worth of
tools, is back of the average American workman in his productive efforts. In terms of purchasing* power, our average
workman's wages have increased aboutfive fold, even though
he works only half as many hours as he did1 then,.
Tools, then, are important to all of us. Where do they come
from? The price of these better tools (sometimes they're expensive tools) has come from people able to save from their
incomes a little surplus to invest. Most of these folks today
are in the income bracket of $5,000 or over. But through life
suranee 'and bank savings, nearly everybody in America
participates in these purchases of tools.
Obviously, we have a high standard of living- partly because of the labor-aiding- tools we have accumulated. That is
fine. But-we must not forget that it is possible for America
to have such national policies, that tool investments are not
forthcoming. In fact,- during 1930 to 1940 when our account
in tools (capital) slipped downward 19.4 per cent we found
that our economy wesj$ backward rather than forward.
Looking at the record^ -\ye see that most of our tools were
accumulated in the generation prior to 1929. .From 1920 to

Received Patent
Grant in April
On April 20, 1948, the United
States Patent Office granted patent
number 2,440,053 on a "Floor Tile"
and Joist Construction" to Stanley
Macomber, North Caanton, Ohio.
This invention pertains to a rigid,
fireproof steel floor construction that
is simpler and easier to build than
the usual metal lath and concrete
floors, and which may installed by
inexperienced workmen without regard to their ability to proportion
and mix ingredients.
As is commonly known, joists are
horizontal beams of timber or steel
that are used as supports for floors
and ceilings. The chief feature of Mr.
comber's invention resides in the
shape of his joist; and, in general, it
is made of a strip or sheet steel and
comprises an upper section in the
form of a V shaped trough, and a
lower portion formed into an inverted V with the ends of its apex
slightly spread apart to thereby result in a central groove or opening
extending along the length of the
trough.
In constructing Mr. Macomber's
